Rainbow Dash screamed. Her body felt like it was on fire. It was getting hard to breathe, and black spots randomly appeared in her line of sight. The pegasus was dimly aware of the Doctor yelling something from behind her, along the lines of:

"Don't fight it!" and "Oh god what is going on?!"

Dash toppled over, suddenly not able to stand or feel her hooves. Her whole body started going numb, and the last thing she saw before she passed out was a hand reaching for her.

---

Rainbow Dash's head pounded dully. Her mouth felt like it was stuffed with cotton. She raised her head slightly to check out her surroundings. Blinking, Dash gasped as she saw the Doctor laying across the room, his back to her. The TARDIS control room was demolished; wires hung from the ceiling in clumps, and sparks randomly flew out from the console. Rainbow pushed herself into a sitting position, her hands gripping the floor.

Wait, hands?!

Rainbow looked down at her body, a look of utter shock on her face. She brought her hands up to her face, studying both sides. She wiggled her fingers and reached over to pick something up. She grabbed a piece of rounded metal. It felt cool in her grasp, the grey metallic surface leaving her in awe. Putting the item down, Dash inspected the rest of her body. The thing that caught her attention the most, though, were the long, slender, sky blue wings protruding from between her shoulder blades. Looking back over her shoulder, the pegasus gave them a few flaps, feeling herself rise slightly off the floor.

Hadn't the Doctor said humans didn't have wings or magic?

Deciding she had checked her new body out enough, Rainbow Dash attempted to stand up. She got to her feet. . .

And promptly fell onto her face.

Growling, Dash tried again, this time holding her arms out for balance. She teetered back and forth, wobbling over to the Doctor, who was still limp on the floor. She got there just in time, falling to her knees. She breathed a sigh of relief and put a hand on the Doctor's shoulder.

"Doctor! Doctor, wake up!" Rainbow Dash hissed. She shook his shoulder. A groan emanated from his throat, and he rolled over to face Dash. His brown eyes blinked open, and he immediately freaked, scooting away and turning his head.

"What? Yeah, I know, I changed. Weird, huh?" the pegasus asked, looking at her arms. The Doctor grimaced, keeping a hand over his eyes.

"You're naked. . ." he squeaked. His face burned bright red.

"Oh! Oh!" Dash blushed as well. She put a hand up to her mouth. "I'm sorry, I guess I didn't think about that before I came to wake you up-"

"No, it's fine, it's just. . . I don't-" He stopped with his stammering. "There's a wardrobe room, um, it's. . ." He was too embarrassed to finish speaking.

Rainbow rolled her eyes. "It's fine. I'll find it." She flapped her wings to get herself onto her feet, then walked off, still tottering slightly.

The Doctor sighed, slapping himself in the face.

---

Rainbow Dash eventually found it. She walked up the stairs, looking for something she considered tasteful. After searching and finding nothing she really liked, she came upon a small sky blue entry way. On the top of the ledge, it had the letters RD imprinted on it in red. Narrowing her eyes, Dash entered.

She gasped.

Inside, there was a whole room filled with clothes that were seemingly designed to her. Smirking, she flew up, testing out her different wings. She flitted around, finding an outfit that would suit her perfectly.

After finding one, she hurried back to the Doctor.

---

The Doctor was tidying up the TARDIS, again, when he heard the gentle flapping of wings. He turned around, leaving the wires he had been melding together to look at Dash. His mouth popped open.

She was wearing a sky blue T-shirt, the sleeves and bottom outlined with rainbow; her cutie mark was printed on her chest. She had white shorts on, and long, light blue socks with rainbow on the tops, just like her shirt. Her sport shoes were white also with red lacing, and had a red check on the sides of them. A long rainbow scarf edged with gold was wrapped around her neck, the tasseled ends swinging down next to her knees. A set of dark blue goggles with multicolored lenses were resting upon her head, pushing her bangs out of her face. Three bands of silver and gold were on her wrists. Her rainbow hair was short in length, barely past her chin. She looked like she was eighteen years old.

Rainbow Dash spread her wings out, turning around. "Well, what do you think?"

The Doctor floundered with his words before finally managing to choke something out. "You look wonderful." He gave her a smile.

"It's not bad is it? I won't be a freak if I go out like this?" Her face turned into one of worry.

"No, you really look beautiful. Now, help me clean up the TARDIS a bit and then we'll be on our way." He bent over to grab some broken wires.

"What happened anyhow?" She flew up and shoved some wires back into the ceiling.

"Um, I don't really know how to explain, but it was a bit like regeneration. Once you passed out, your body gave off this wave of energy, sending me flying backwards and destroying the TARDIS. It's like what happens during regeneration, which is why it was so weird. But no worries." He shrugged.

"Okay. Well, what about my wings? I'm sure if they see my wings it'll be quite a shock to them. They'd know right away I was 'alien'." She made quotation marks in the air as she said that.

The Doctor put his hands on his hips. "Right. What to do. . ." He pondered it for a moment. He then perked up, putting a finger in the air. "Ah! I know!" He got out his sonic and began fiddling with the TARDIS controls. "Alright Dash, stand right there, and don't move." Rainbow hovered over to the spot he'd pointed at. "Three, two, one!" The Time Lord pulled a lever on the console and then a blue beam swept across the pegasus. She jumped, not sure what was happening. A few small beeps were heard and then the beam flickered, going back into the controls.

"What's the difference? I can still see them," Rainbow Dash said, shifting her wings. She looked back at them over her shoulder.

"We can, but nobody else can! I gave you a perception field. They also can't feel them either, so if anybody would happen to run into you, they would not even know!" the Doctor laughed.

"I can still use them, right?"

"Yup. Just try not to when we're somewhere human or anything. If we're somewhere alien friendly, you can use them and I'll take the perception field away so you can show them off." He grinned.

Dash fist pumped. "Alright! Well, let's go!"

"Where do you want to go?"

"Hmm. . . I'd like to go to somewhere human. I've never seen an actual human before. You may look like one, but you're still a Time Lord."

"I can make that happen." He grinned at her then pulled a lever. The whirring sound of the TARDIS filled the air, and a final screeching, along with the last boom of the ship touching down. The Doctor walked towards the door, long coat flapping behind him, and motioned towards the door. Rainbow giggled like a child and followed the Time Lord, hands at her face. She glanced at him, her eyes big. He nodded. Dash pushed the door open slowly, as if she were a teenager sneaking out at night.

The bright sun made her squint, but she continued. Seeing the different buildings around them, along with the people milling about, made Dash squee. She bounced up and down as the Doctor just stood behind her smiling.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!" Rainbow squealed, her wings fluttering involuntarily. The Time Lord quickly pulled her back to the ground by her scarf. She rubbed the back of her head. "Eh heh, sorry. I'm just so excited! I finally get to meet aliens- well, different aliens!" She paused. "Where are we?"

"From the looks of it, we're in. . ." the Doctor trailed off, having no idea where they were. He glanced around. Seeing a newspaper stand nearby, he went up and grabbed one. "Ah! We're in the United States, in the state of North Dakota. Bismarck, the state's capital, to be exact. It's March 13th, 2015." He smiled. "In all my years of phone box travel, I've never been here! Should be fun." He looked at Dash. "What do you want to do first?" She thought for a moment.

"I don't know. What do humans do? I'm pretty hungry right now, though." She smiled sheepishly as her stomach growled.

"All right," the Doctor said, looping his arm though hers, "we shall go find some food!"

"Where are we going? And do they have good food here?"

"I have no idea! Never been here, remember?"

"Right. Where are we going to eat? And do you have any bits on you? I didn't bring any." She emphasized her point by pulling her short pockets out.

"Ah. Thanks for reminding me. We need money," the Doctor told her. He walked into a large building: The Kirkwood Mall.

"What is this place?" Dash asked. It was huge; there were doors everywhere, leading into different places. Rainbow narrowed her eyes to read to read the nearest one: Target.

"It's a mall. You don't have malls in Equestria?"

"No. We have stalls."

"Well, the mall is a place with a lot of stores combined into one building. We're in here to get some money, but I'm sure we can find something to eat while we're here." He found an ATM and took out his sonic screwdriver, making sure no one was watching before using it. As soon as he had the money in his hand, another immediately stole it from him. Rainbow held the green bills up to her eye, studying it.

"This is their money? What if it gets torn or something? Because I could easily just rip this in half." She tugged on both sides of the dollar.

"Yes, and it's called a dollar bill. Don't rip it, just take half of the money and give the other half to me." He waited until she finally figured out how much it was worth. They had two hundred dollars in total. She handed him five twenties and took the others.

"So, how does this money work? It has numbers on it, so. . . what? Just hand it to the sales pony- I mean, sales person and they take it?" Rainbow fiddled with one of her bills.

"They'll tell you your total, you'll hand them the money, and they give you your change. Simple."

"Change?" Dash asked.

"Money back. They have other amount of dollars to give you, plus coins so you can have your exact change," the Time Lord explained.

Rainbow glanced once more at the money in her hand. "Huh. It's so complicated here. Back in Equestria, we only had bits, and it was always an exact amount." She laughed. "I never thought I'd be saying things like 'back in Equestria'." The Doctor smiled.

"So, what do you feel in the mood to eat?"

"I don't know. I doubt they eat hay here, just saying."

"Point taken. Alright, how about you wait here, and I'll go get us something to eat, 'kay?" He pushed her into a chair in the middle of the room. It was kind of like a food court, but not exactly. There were some small metal tables with chairs around them, next to a hat store. "I'll be back. If you want, go browse the stores in this area. Don't go far; I won't be gone long." With that, he strolled off.

Rainbow Dash sighed, looking around. She leaned on the table with an elbow, one hand holding up her head. Bored, she stood up, going to look around. Seeing the small hat store next to her, she just went under the small doorway. It wasn't technically big enough to be called a store, as it was just a bunch of hats hung up on a small frame. Dash looked at the selection of headwear. After a little testing, she found one that she decided she liked. It was a dark blue one with red trimming on the flat rim. There was a gold arrow, like the weapon, on the front. She purchased it, keeping it in the small black bag the cashier had put it in.

Rainbow plopped down at her table again. She ran a finger across the smooth surface. She groaned and rolled her eyes. What was taking the Doctor so long? She leaned back in her chair, crossing her long legs on top of the table. She shifted her wings to a more comfortable position, held out to either side of her. Dash closed her eyes and it wasn't long before she was asleep. But she wasn't asleep for more than five minutes when she felt someone tapping her shoulder. The pegasus woke with a start, nearly kicking the Doctor in the face.

"Good afternoon, sleepyhead! I got some lunch from Subway," the Time lord said, holding up the bag.

The smell of the food reached Rainbow Dash's nose, causing her mouth to start watering. "Ooh, smells good. Sandwiches?"

"Yup. I know ponies don't eat meat, but I got you ham, if that's alright. Maybe you'll like it, I don't know. You aren't exactly a pony anymore." He handed her a foot long sub. Dash, upon hearing meat, had gained an uncertain air to her. She hesitantly took the sandwich. The Doctor noticed this, a frown on his face. "If you don't want it, you can get something from somewhere else."

"I. . . I can try it. I don't know, I've just never eaten meat before," the pegasus responded unsurely, unwrapping the food. The smell of the meat and other toppings was absolutely mouthwatering, but she was still hesitant. Dash took a bite, crunching through the lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions, tasting the ranch as she bit down. When she had reached the meat, she continued. She chewed slowly, getting the full flavor out of the bite.

"So?" the Doctor asked after taking a few bites out of his sandwich. Rainbow licked her lips.

"Not bad actually."

---

The Doctor and Rainbow Dash were sitting in a park bench. It was late now, stars shining in the sky.

"Reminds me of Princess Luna's night. Of course, hers are more beautiful. These stars do whatever they want. It's like the EverFree Forest all the time, here in the human world," Rainbow Dash commented, leaning against the Doctor sideways. She kicked her feet together, liking the sound they made when they touched.

"Yeah. It's more natural, and not controlled by all that magic," the Doctor added.

"I like magic. Always so cool. Of course, I could probably control these clouds if I tried. But you said I can't fly while we're here." She sat up and fluttered her wings, lifting herself off the bench.

"Well, there's no one outside right now, and I'm kinda bored, so maybe a little show wouldn't hurt. . ."

Dash grinned. "Sweet!" She flew up, cracking her knuckles. After several more areas of body crackage, she headed into the clouds, pulling her goggles down over her eyes. She went up high, feeling the cool air on her face. Her wings were like a duck's; the water that collected on them rolling right off.

Back on the ground, the Doctor waited. The small hole in the clouds where Rainbow had entered was starting to close, but that was none of his worries. The only thing he did worry about was somebody seeing her flying.

Rainbow Dash kicked a cloud, sending a bolt of electricity shooting out. She laughed; the elements were hers to control. The air crackled with static, and she decided to get moving. She propelled herself up, going into a flip, the momentum sending her down. Her body streamlined, forming a cone. But as she broke through the cloud layer, she saw something that stopped her in her tracks.

"You're coming with us!" a large man shouted, shoving the Doctor into the back of a van, his hands tied behind is back. Two other people, one male and one female, climbed in after them closing the black van's doors. The screeching of the tires on the asphalt hurt Dash's ears as she watched them from her eye in the sky. Blinking in surprise, she shook her head to clear her mind. She pounded her chest, yelling.

"I'm coming Doctor! Hold on!" Rainbow Dash yelled, taking off. The black van was still in sight as she sped after it. Only taking a few moments for Dash to reach the vehicle at her speed, she landed on top of it, denting the metal. She heard yelling from inside the van, and it swerved slightly on the road. Rainbow growled, kicking the windshield, cracking it. A head popped out of the passenger's window; the girl. She had black hair tied up in a bun, with lots of dark makeup on her face. She gasped when she saw the pegasus, brown eyes going wide. Her head ducked back inside the van.

"Give him back!" Rainbow shouted again. She opened her wings, letting herself get pulled back into the air by the wind. Dash took off again, this time going for the back doors. She held out a foot, and crashed right through the van's doors. The broken pieces of metal crumpled and one of them fell out into the road, clattering against the ground loudly. There were six people inside; three men, the woman, the Doctor, and another younger girl. The teen was shivering, her mouth taped shut and hands taped together. The Doctor was in a similar condition, except he had his feet tied up also, and he was unconscious. Blood was dripping down his face.

"Stop right there, criminal scum!"

"Who the hell are you?!" the large man shouted, holding up a gun.

Rainbow smirked, adjusting her goggles. "That's classified information, dirtbag, but I'll show you what I'm going to do instead!" As soon as she said that, she leapt forward, striking the man in the chest. He hit the side of the van. The gun went off, shooting the already cracked windshield. Dash then turned to the other man, who was standing over by the Doctor and the child. Rainbow grabbed ahold of a handle on the van and kicked the man out onto the road. The girl in the front and the driver were the easiest. She grabbed both of their heads quickly and slammed them together with a crunching sound. The van spun out of control and headed towards the sidewalk. The pegasus quickly grabbed the Doctor and the teenager, and flew out of the van.

The large man held up his phone, snapping a picture of her leaving. That girl had wings.

---

Rainbow Dash was back in the TARDIS. The Doctor was laying on the floor with bandages wrapped around his head. The teen girl was huddled up on the chair with a blue blanket around her, tremors wracking her body. Dash was making some hot chocolate for her; she added the marshmallows and hovered over to the child. Her hair was bright red and she had violet eyes.

"Thanks for saving me," she said.

"Not a problem. Might as well kill two birds with one stone," Rainbow said, waving the thanks off with a flip of her hand. She handed the warm mug of coco to the kid. "I'm Rainbow Dash. What's your name?"

The girl looked down at her cup, then back to Dash. "Seven."

"Seven? Like the number?" The pegasus raised an eyebrow.

"I forgot my real name, and I've always liked the number seven." She took a sip of hot chocolate.

"You forgot your real name? How long have you been with those awful people?"

"Five days."

"How can you forget your name after five days?"

"I'm not as young as I look. I'm actually not even human, and I know you're not either, pegasus." She took another sip. "I'm not sure what kind of operation you've got going on here, but I want in on it."

Rainbow looked shocked. "Can you see my wings?"

"Of course we can!"

"Um, we?"

"Look, you may be new here, but everybody can see those things."

"But there was a perception filter on them!"

"Well, not anymore. Did you go near anything that could've messed with it?"

"On second thought, I was up in the clouds. The electricity must've canceled it out." Rainbow scowled and pounded her fist on the control panel, causing a few sparks to fly off.

Seven nodded. "It'll do that. So, your friend, what's his deal then?"

Dash glanced over at the Time Lord. "This is his ship. And since you already know I'm not human, he's not either."

"Figures," Seven muttered, rolling her eyes.

"And what's your deal? How old are you?" the pegasus asked.

"Around three hundred, give or take. I don't care really." She stood up, her knee high boots clicking on the floor. "I'm supposed to look like fifteen. Is it working?" She was dressed in an all-black leather outfit. Her fiery red hair was down to the middle of her back, held back by a pair of sunglasses. Her makeup added a dark appearance to her.

"Yeah. Your clothes make you look way older though." Dash shrugged. "So, what species are you?"

"I'm a Dranna. We're shape shifters. See?" Seven changed into a mirror image of Rainbow Dash with a shimmering of blue.

Rainbow shuddered. "Don't do that. I had a very horrible experience with changelings this summer. That's how I met the Doctor actually." She jerked a thumb back at his sleeping body.

"Changelings?" Seven tilted her head, raising an eyebrow as she turned back into herself.

"Yeah. They change form too, but they feed on love."

Seven nodded. "Okay, I told you what I am. What are you?"

"Nothing special really. Just a pony in human form."

"A pony? Interesting." She tapped her fingers on the console. "So, why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

Seven narrowed her eyes. "I'm supposed to be investigating my sister's disappearance, but then those goons caught me. You?" She crossed her arms.

"He and I were just on a little trip. I've never seen real humans before." Rainbow floated nonchalantly over Seven's head, hands behind her own.

"Then what would those thugs want with him then? They want everybody for a reason, you know."

"I don't know. He said he'd never been here before."

"Well then. We'll have to ask him when he wakes up."

"Who said you were staying?" Dash asked, crossing her arms.

"I did. And I think you'll need my help, to be honest," Seven said.

"Help with what?"

"Anything. Everything." Seven smirked. "Besides, I'm sure you both could help me with my problem as well. I need to find my sister. She could be killed. She's my only sibling and I want her back." She sighed. "It's her first time out and her signal went offline. You see, we all have a microscopic chip in the back of our heads. If it goes out, then we have no communication. We're stranded."

Rainbow thought about this, one hand to her mouth. Then she grinned. "Okay, we'll help."

"What if he disagrees?" Seven looked at the Doctor.

"Oh, he'll listen to me." Rainbow waved a hand. "So, back to business. Do you know anything about those thugs? Do they have a hideout?"

"Now that's something I know."

Woo hoo, sequel! :D This is gonna be great!

Anyways, there are going to be multiple stories in this. This is just the first. They'll probably be like five or less chapters long. . ? That's just a guess.

Plus, whenever I feel like it, there will be mini stories not included in this. You'll have to keep an eye out for them.
